Re: Leaking steering box

Its a totally reasonable thing to try. They're not super involved to work on. Who knows the quality of the parts in that kit but i assume they're all the same regardless of the name on the box. Worst case, you send it out to lee power steering if you cant figure it out. For what its worth, i put a borgesen in my car and am really happy w it.

Keep in mind the shaft that's leaking is 40 years old and possibly pitted or worn and a new seal might not stop the leak.
